Quick Answer: Shopify’s $1/month for 3 months trial gives you full access to any plan — Basic, Grow, or Advanced — for just $1 per month.

That means you get 90 days to build, test, and launch a real store with zero limitations, before paying the regular monthly price ($39, $105, or $399). It’s not a free trial, but it’s the lowest-cost way to get started with a live, sellable store.

When I first saw Shopify’s “$1 for 3 months” offer, I thought it was too good to be true.

Was this a real deal or just another gimmick to get you locked into something expensive?

After testing it myself, digging through Shopify’s policies, and comparing it to other platforms, I can tell you exactly what you’re getting — and what to avoid.

This guide breaks it down clearly: what the offer includes, how it compares to the old free trial, how it stacks up against other platforms, and who it’s actually best for.

What is a side hustle, and should you be investing in one of your own?

Side hustles are becoming increasingly popular in today’s world. Offering everyday people an opportunity to earn extra income on top of their typical job, side hustles are common in today’s economy. In fact, some studies suggest around 39% of all Americans have a “side hustle”.

The right “side gig” gives you an opportunity to explore additional sources of income, improve your financial situation, and even pursue your passions, without compromising on a regular income.

Ecommerce website development has gained increasing attention in recent years. After all, nearly 15% of all sales now take place online, and the demand for digital shopping is growing all the time. For virtually every business, an online presence is no longer an optional extra, but a necessity.

If customers can’t find your products and services online, they’re more likely to shop elsewhere. That means even the smallest businesses need to consider creating their own ecommerce store.
